Hunter Biden allegedly provided visa assistance to the head of Burisma, who is reportedly linked to a “criminal bribery scheme.”

Hunter Biden’s Efforts to Secure US Visa for Ukrainian Oligarch Revealed in Emails

In a series of emails found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, it has been revealed that he attempted to assist Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky in obtaining a United States visa. Zlochevsky, the founder of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, had his visa revoked by the State Department in 2014. The emails suggest that Hunter Biden coordinated with his business associates to help Zlochevsky reapply for the visa between 2014 and 2016.

Allegations of a Criminal Bribery Scheme

These revelations come in the midst of allegations of a “criminal bribery scheme” involving President Joe Biden and his son. Sources previously claimed that Zlochevsky discussed a $5 million bribe to Hunter Biden and another $5 million to Joe Biden. These allegations are connected to an investigation led by Rep. James Comer (R-KY) in the GOP-led House Oversight Committee. The investigation focuses on an FBI informant form that supposedly details the bribe allegation and its connection to Joe Biden’s efforts to pressure Ukraine’s government to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma.

FBI Director Christopher Wray allowed members of the Oversight Committee to view the form in June. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) stated that no one has refuted Zlochevsky’s involvement in the redacted portion of the form. Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) also hinted at “explosive testimony” related to the Hunter Biden investigation in the coming weeks.

Coordinated Efforts and Recommendations

The emails reveal a series of coordinated efforts and recommendations made by individuals involved in the visa issue. Burisma board member Vadim Pozharskyi emailed Hunter Biden’s business partner, Devon Archer, inquiring about Zlochevsky’s visa problem. Heather King, a former partner at Boies Schiller & Flexner LLP, communicated with Pozharskyi about the visa situation and recommended the involvement of lobbyists and PR firms to assist with the issue.

Pozharskyi held joint conversations with Hunter Biden and Zlochevsky regarding these suggestions. The emails also mention the involvement of Eric Schwerin, another business partner of Hunter Biden, who sought assistance from John Sandweg, the former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the Obama administration.

Legal Issues and Controversy

By November 2015, Zlochevsky faced unresolved legal issues in Ukraine, including allegations of attempting to bribe officials. However, these investigations were later closed by the Ukrainian Office of the Prosecutor General. The emails suggest that Hunter Biden and his partners may have engaged in registrable lobbying activity, according to a Foreign Agents Registration Act expert.

In June, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to tax avoidance misdemeanors but avoided prosecution on a gun-related charge. President Joe Biden has dismissed the bribery allegations as “malarkey” and has not addressed questions regarding the FBI document.

Requests for comment from the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, and Hunter Biden’s lawyer have gone unanswered. The Ukrainian embassy has also not responded to requests for comment.
